AI Use Case

How to use AI to calculate tariff cost impact on your components

New tariffs changing the cost basis on components from a key region creates an immediate finance question that's hard to answer quickly. Landed cost impact usually requires manually re-pricing affected parts across every active program.

A Z2 AI agent runs the new tariff rate against every affected program and shows exactly where switching sourcing would recover the most margin.

New tariffs just hit, what's the cost impact across our programs?

Landed cost increases by $340K annually across 4 programs; 2 have viable alternate sourcing.

자주 묻는 질문

How does the AI agent calculate landed cost?

It applies the new tariff rate to affected parts' current volumes and pricing across your active programs, rolling up to total cost impact.

Does it factor in alternate sourcing savings?

Yes, it compares the tariffed cost against sourcing the same part from an unaffected region, where a qualified alternate exists.

How quickly is this available after a tariff change?

Same day. The AI agent recalculates as soon as new tariff schedules are published.

Can it model a proposed tariff before it takes effect?

Yes, the same calculation can run against proposed or pending tariff changes for planning purposes.
